La dynamique de la qualité

Abstract

[fre] Les cercles de qualité font partie d'une dynamique de l'organisation du travail. Cette dynamique débouche sur la Maîtrise de la Qualité Totale (MQT). L'article analyse ce processus à partir de l'étude de deux grands établissements industriels de la région de Grenoble, et d'un examen de la littérature disponible fin 1986. Il montre que le MQT répond à différentes exigences économiques et sociales en proposant une « nouvelle orthodoxie ». Le MQT fait reposer les gains de productivité sur les compétences et le savoir-faire des salariés, au lieu de l'intensité du travail. Il modifie le cours de la production des techniques. Il peut donc être analysé comme une stratégie plausible de sortie de crise dans la production. [eng] The introduction of quality circles is part of the dynamics of work organization. These dynamics aim on Total Quality Control (TQC). The paper analyses these dynamics on the basis of two cases studies and a survey of the literature available in 1986. It shows that TQC is an answer to a various set of social and economic requirements, and suggests a « new orthodoxy ». The logic of TQC is to look for increase in productivity rather through the workers abilities than through the increase of work intensity.
